Tuesday, August 13th: Curran Leads at the Legends (+7), 70 on Par 72 !!!

The Country Club at The Legends is built into the rolling hills of Eureka, Missouri and features 335 acres of golf course and features 18 holes of championship golf built and designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1989 and 9 holes of golf built and designed by Arthur Hills in 2005.  Holes 1 thru 18 are a par 72 layout with low cut zoysia fairways, with many well manicured traps, and relatively large undulating mid-speed greens.  Even though there were a lot of traps, the fairways did not feel overly claustrophobic.  The course featured some excellent practice facilities, including practice traps.  The clubhouse was large and had some upscale amenities in the locker rooms. FCCC Whites (5,440 yards) played the Legend's White (5,506).  FCCC Golds (4,816) played the Legend's Green (4,657).

Golf Quote: “Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I’ve played the game for 50 years, and I still haven’t the slightest idea of how to play.” – Gary Player

Golf Stuff: In 2022 more than 25.6 million Americans played a round of golf on a golf course and another 15.5 million participated in off-course golf activities like Topgolf. A total of 119 million Americans—one-third of the population—either played golf (on or off-course), watched it on television or online, listened to a golf podcast, or read about the sport.
